Dropbox Replay: "Show pencil when hovering over file" when disabled, make it default for everyone
I'm using the Dropbox trial to see if I can switch from Onedrive and Frame.io to Dropbox and Replay.
I did a few tests with a different account and I disabled "Show pencil when hovering over file" but people that view the video still have the pencil when trying to play the video.
For me this a potential deal-breaker because I know clients will start drawing random stuff when they actually want to play the video and they will get annoyed. I've been using frame.io almost since it was launched and I think only 1 or 2 clients ever used the pencil to draw something. All of them just leave comments, don't know why the drawing is such front and center. Can we just have it disabled for everyone when selected?
Also I have the Essentials trial and I see I can only use 10 videos in Replay with no option for password protection, that's really stingy. I need to get the addon to use more videos and have all the features. Doing a simple math, this comes out way more expensive than Onedrive + Frame. As a solo entrepreneur, it might not be worth it in the end. Need to think about it.
